The causes I care about

Do something to make a difference

I believe most of us care about the plight of those in need around the world but that we're just too busy or self occupied to turn those well meaning intentions into actions that matter. Below are some of the causes I support. Take some time to look at their sites and if something interests you about them, share that with your friends and family.
